Scientists quickly identified it as a comet that migrated from another star, although a few insisted without evidence it might be associated with intelligent life.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">It was only the third known object from a faraway star \u2013 all deemed of natural origin \u2013 to venture into the sun\u2019s turf.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Several Nasa spacecraft observed the celestial ice ball as it swung past Mars last October, venturing within 30 million kilometres (19 million miles) of the red planet. The closest it ever got to Earth was in December at a whopping 269 million kilometres away.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">SETI said it conducted more than seven hours of observations in July soon after the comet was discovered, searching through a wide range of radio signals. The team identified nearly 74 million narrow-band radio signals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/news\/world\/united-states-canada\/article\/3355919\/our-latest-interstellar-visitor-has-no-signs-alien-technology-scientists-say\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our latest interstellar visitor has no signs of alien technology, scientists say https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/news\/world\/united-states-canada\/article\/3355919\/our-latest-interstellar-visitor-has-no-signs-alien-technology-scientists-say Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":263613,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.i-scmp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/og_image_scmp_generic\/public\/d8\/images\/canvas\/2026\/06\/04\/c14a3986-8d2e-43eb-86a0-ac7cf1dc86ec_2bcdd041.jpg?itok=CIiNg1ff&v=1780551305","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[129],"class_list":["post-263612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-solar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263612"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263612"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":263614,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263612\/revisions\/263614"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
